"I got a bit tired of drawing girls while working on 'Cat's Eye.' 'Alright, let's draw men this time! Better yet, let's draw a hero! But when it comes to heroes, people often have the impression of someone who is silent and brooding. However, I don't like men who are just handsome but lack humanity.' Thus, ‘Ryo’ was born, embodying all male instincts. Please look after him!" —— Tsukasa Hojo
"My name is Ryo, nickname City Hunter, a somewhat famous urban cleaner with a wide range of services, including accepting commissions to act as bodyguard for beautiful women, hitman, etc... In short, my job is to clear out urban trash, so I live dangerously every day. After becoming enemies with drug cartels, things got more complicated. My partner Makimura was killed, and his sister Kaori unexpectedly became my new partner. Every case she takes on brings trouble... The unprecedented success of 'City Hunter' is all because the author successfully created the character 'Ryo.'"
